What's the funniest most unusual baby name?

Nurses Humor Nursing Q/A

As many of you know by now, Kim Kardashian had her baby. As if you couldn't miss all the annoying coverage over every single detail. They named that poor kid North West. What are some of the funniest/weirdest/most unusual baby names you have seen? Could be a patient or someone you know in your personal life. And if you are someone with one of those odd names did you just learn to live with it or would you change it.

Haha! These are funny. I worked as a CNA for a long time before I became a nurse and used to work with a 17 year old named Clitoria. Her mom was a crack addict who thought it was funny. She told her daughter her father was so good at hitting that spot she kept going back to him until she got pregnant so she named her that. The poor girl went by CC but was planning to change her name as soon as she turned 18.

I used to help take care of a CLINToria once upon a time. that N was the only thing saving her from that one....

One Ima Hogg was the daughter of Texas Governor James Hogg. That name had to be hard to grow up with. I wonder if that's where your patient got the name?

So as a nurse in L&D I quite often get patients and family members who ask about the weirdest names I’ve ever heard/seen.. is discussing this with them a HIPAA violation? Obviously no other information is shared, but I’m just curious where this falls when it comes to HIPAA.

My grandfathers brother was Plezzie and my grandfather was Trezzie. I never had enough family contact to ask how or why. I just assumed it was some long lost motherland name.

There was a Netflix show about names and the effects on children. I don't remember the name of it. It featured Winner and Loser. Loser went by Lou and was a police captain. I think Winner didn't do so well for himself.
